Is It Possible?

Anyone know if it is possible to have your pet take the the DT?
RE: Is It Possible?
# May 26 2006 at 3:20 AM Rating: Decent
Nope. afaik, mobs will not DT pets
RE: Is It Possible?

If I remember correctly DT travels through the pet directly to you. So no, pets won't take the DT for you sadly. Though a DT is interruptable, though it's a matter of luck rather than skill. I've seen a warrior's kick stun the spiroc boss right as it was going to DT and it interrupted.

sort of old post.. anyway.. if your a necro, can't you FD and send pet's in? because it shouldn't DT you while in FD, unless FD fails and you didn't notice it. Even if it did DT, maybe it would DT the pet.. then send the raid in? just a theory.
RE: Is It Possible?

at one time, this might have been possible... I've heard it to be true.. but I think not any more. I was FD in Fear, and pet chain agro'd thru to a DTing golem, even while FD, I took the DT. I was prolly FD for 30 sedonds at that point.

this was perhaps a year ago.

2nd try, still no cape

this time we killed him with 5 people (wiz, war, rog, clr, necr - all 70ies)...he went down fast with 3 DT, clr kept rezing ppl.

hope to get this drop soon, my guildies hate this zone with a passion :o(

iam glad those keys wont vanish anymore after zoning out. means you can go straight up invis without botherin with lower isles. keep your bag full of keys banked, there is always a necro in need ;o)

Killed this horsey with 7 tonight. 70 cleric, 60 cleric, 70 wiz, 70 chanter, 70 monk, 67 war, 70 shaman. Was still a tuff kill though. and at the end only one person was standing.. luckily it was a cleric to rez us back up.
No Cape

Took him out today, had all newbie gear (was probably good for its time) but the cape did not drop. Hopefully next time. Need to make sure everyone has keys before coming here as most of our time getting to camp was clearing the other islands.

KoS has approx 25k HP give or take. Does DT every 30 seconds, and hits for approx 300-400. KoS can perform double hits in one round.

Not sure how long it took us, but as soon as the 4th island was clear...KoS spawned.

Confirming.

Note The first kill on this island (one keeper is on) starts the invis 80min timer. The cape did drop on my first kill of it. I was most pleased because this is the end if 1.0 for me!

Keeper spawned 80 minutes afer we started killing first mob...we had to wait about 10 minutes
Dead tonight on TZ

We killed it tonit
Droped wut is listed above, and he poped after we cleared da island, only mob still up wuz da Overseer of air. We just sited and waited, so dunno if he pops after da first mob, or after da last wun. no idea as no wun timed.
Tried pet pull wid sk65 and me war 61, but sk got CT wid dis method, so not sure if pet pull work.
Mobs tend to land a hit or 2 before ct or ht. In dis case mabe it wuz enought to kill pet and switch target.
Anyway he ct 3 or 4 times before he go down.
Nothing special about it, just need 2 tanks and cleric wid clicky (prefered hehe) and dat s it.

Killed him tonight on lanys. Dropped Black Silk cape among other stuff. Being a necro, that was all I was worried about! Took a raid of thirteen peeps. He dropped pretty quick.

80 min -- not your ass
# Jun 30 2004 at 1:01 AM Rating: Decent
This it true its 80min from the time you kill the first mob on Island not from the start of raid. i have killed this mob 6 or 7 times now and its always 80 mins... it you set a timer from the timwe the frist mob dies ( some say engauged ) you will get him to pop 80 mins later
RE: 80 min -- not your ass
# Jul 25 2004 at 7:30 PM Rating: Excellent
Aye we just killed him a few mins ago, 80 mins after we engaged the island.
80 my ass
# Apr 27 2004 at 11:00 PM Rating: Default
I don't know about this 80 minute spawn timer BS. We got to this isle about 120 mins after we started raid, and waited another hour after. Finally someone got a hunch, and aggro'd Overseer of Air, Keeper spawned RIGHT away

First I thought this thing was bugged but our stubborn asses stayed there 10 minutes after we wiped the whole island.

All I can say is that CT is no joke, if you have a low amount of people this guy can be done easy though with 1 cleric and another healer and some dps. In our case it was 1 War, 1 Beast, 1 Necro, 1 Mage, 2 Clerics, 1 Wiz. Beast took initial CT by sending pet so nobody had to drag his corpse.

On CT Warrior and other Engaged with pets, 1 Cleric dragged corpses OOR and rezed, while the other healed the tank at the time. After about 3 or 4 CT's the mob was dead. -_-
cant find him

OK i've lead 2 raids to the 4th island so far and cleared it both times. No Keeper. Whats the deal? How do you get him to Spawn????

Also drops Fine Velvet Cloak for the coveted Dark Cloak of the Sky (Ranger) PoS quest. Frustratingly rarely, naturally.
how many hp he got

I just what to now how many HP this dude got?
Tank for this guy...
# Aug 29 2003 at 11:33 AM Rating: Decent
Have you tried using a Paladin with divine stun to tank it? divine stuns and pop stuns should hit this mob np and prolong the period of time between death touches. I have seen this technique used with a few DT capable mobs that were unstunnable except for divine stun pre-pop, the pop spells also hit them now as most have a lvl limit of 65 or higher. Divine stun is an AA ability paladins recieve. 400 is not enough dmg to need defensive skill for if your tank is a fairly high level with decent gear.

From what I have seen and heard, I believe the follwing will work. I have not tried it.

He DT's every 30 seconds – this is a 20,000 HP harm touch. I do not know if it can be resisted. I have never seen it resisted.

Follow timer from first kill carefully. You need to be ready for this guy. 80 minutes from first kill on the island he will pop. If he suprises you and it takes you a few seconds to stand up and get going... well.. read on:

1st sacrifice a druid or ranger. He opens with a DT. First one to get agro dies.

After the first sacrifice, the SA (Secondary Assist – Second Tank) moves in and gains and holds agro followed by the MA (Primary Assist – Main Tank).

Unless he can be dropped in under a minute, 3 people will die. He hits for 400. So as soon as the SA dies (at 30 seconds into the fight) everyone burns it down and goes full offensive. Max DPS. If he is not killed within 90 seconds of the first DT, that being 30 seconds after MA gets killed, you likely have a wipe.

Might also be a good idea to have a SK holding agro as MA. You will want to hold agro through massive chain nuking once SA dies.

Main cleric gets off a celestial and a few CH's and then camps before MA goes down. Do not wait for call to Camp - Just do it. A monk or a necro will also need to go invis and FD and be prepared to move corpses. He will corpse camp. He despawns after 80 min. You will get two tries to drop him. Three if you are fast.

Other options that I have considered include having cleric gain heal agro and DA though a death touch. It might buy you another 30 sec. Dont know if it would be worth it though.

sacrifice a ranger? kinda stupid imo, they provide way too much damage (friend just clocked over 20k damage in a 57 second fight)

DA doesn't block DT just so you know (I have been DT'd by Yael while DA'd).

"sacrifice a ranger? kinda stupid imo"

Yeah, but it's traditional :).

Also, they can probably be click-rezzed back in, grab their bow, and start doing decent damage to the mob without needing to wait for hit points and mana to regenerate. In comparison, a tank without hit points or a caster without mana isn't much use.

/Agree. Sounds like pride to me. Also 20k is par for dps.
mqable?
